David Headley @ Dawood Geelani,is now an american citizen,sorry, terrorist of Pakistani origin.
A foreign terrorist-turned-approver.
Having turned an approver in 26/11 attack on Mumbai,his deposition in the court through video conference,has legal validity in Indian and possibly American courts.
But,these are bound to be rubbished by Pakistani courts.as soon as fresh dossiers are sent.to Pakistan.
Headley's revelations about 26/11, are mere reiteration of disclosures to NIA in 2010.
Being in public domain, Headley's ongoing deposition should not shock India.
What next ? Will Pakistan hand over Hafiz Saeed, Lakhvi, Maulana Masood Azhar and others to India for criminal trials?
No way. Will big players like the US, Russia, UK and France intercede in India's favour ?
China's belligerant neutrality is a foregone conclusion. What is the option ,if international pressures fail to move Pakistan ?
India that has to be pro-active instead of waiting for the next attack after Pathankot.
That may be in the pipeline, considering the number of suspects being arrested every day from across India .
The South Block mandarins should not treat India as a banana republic.
Failure of India's candyfloss diplomacy,is becoming increasingly evident.
Will India take lessons from history before it repeats itself ?
